This week has been one of the most fun weeks ever. This week went by so fast. Towards the beginning of the week, we had a few lessons. The people that we are teaching aren't super close to baptism, we are just helping them grow their faith, or so forth. On Wednesday had district council and the assistants were there so it was really nice to see them and be able to talk with them. We had dinner at Brother Medina's house and he's so funny Holy crap. I was laughing so hard.
On Thursday we went to the library and did companionship study. The library is huge and super nice and right behind it is a river and a bunch of greenery. We made a video down by the river for our Facebook too. Friday we had a huge rain, thunder, lightning show. The lightning was less than a mile away to it was pretty neat and super loud. We had a lesson and we ran about 30 feet to the door from the car and we were SOAKED after it was raining so hard.
On Saturday Kenny got baptized! We went over early to set up and stuff and we saw just this HUGE roach chilling on the wall. This thing was giant, I was nervous to get close. However, Kenny was soo excited to get baptized. His testimony and faith made me really think how important that covenants with God is. We went a Mexican restaurant after with his family and it was so good. I'm really going to miss Kenny and his family I love them so much. They moved just outside of our area to Gonzalez. Which is also just outside of our mission.
Yesterday was Elder Pollock's birthday so that was pretty neat. We had church and confirmed Kenny a member in the church and I got to participate. We stopped by a lot of people that day and a few of our friends aren't doing good. Please keep Jenny in your prayers. She really needs it right now. We then had dinner at bishops and it was super fun to be over there. Then we had a live.
Ok, then today has been so fun and crazy. I'd even have to say my favorite day of my mission so far. We did service this morning and then shopping and all that. Bishop then picked us up we then visited the biggest walnut in the world, then went to D&D which is just a place where cowboys go. They have cowboy hats, boots, and other stuff. So I looked at some boots, and I think I've found a pair I like that ill get in the next few weeks. My style is changing being out here in the country, it's starting me to like the style of cowboys and just kind of being a hick. So after that, we went to Black's BBQ and the bishop said that it's the best BBQ he's had and it's soo good.
Then went to Buc-ee's which is the biggest gas station in the world. It was awesome. While we were in there I saw my bishop from my last area and it was so awesome to talk to him. So today has just been so fun.
Love yall stay safe and remember the gospel brings happiness into our lives. I see it in real effect out here. Repentance is a real thing! You can be forgiven and make it through addictions or troubles that you've made. I've seen our friend's lives change because of choosing to live the gospel. They tell me stories all the time about when they weren't living the gospel they were struggling with money or relationship, whatever the circumstances might be. Once when they starting living the gospel and obeying God's commandments, the things they were struggling with becoming better and easier. God wants to bless us all, but he can't give us the fulness of blessing or happiness if we don't do what he says.
Love yall Elder Larsen
